I the drivers side front wheel has pushed out at the top but don't look to bad though.

That's exactly what happened to me.

Instead of getting these spacers from mitsi,couldn't i just use some thin metal to bring the wheel back in line again

As far as I recall they wrap around the bolts. But I don't see why not if it functions the same way.

Can you remind me where i got to fit them exactly

Rich, if I remember correctly, the shims come as a pack with varying sizes to get the settings dead right...

Cheers Lez.Is there a particular name for these spacers or will they know what i mean by asking for wishbone spacers

I'have a look see in a bit and try to find a part number too.

thanks

Rich there are two types.
Part Name for both is 'Front Shims for Camber Adjusting'
Type a which is individual shims for each bolt.
Type b which is a double shim which does both bolts in one go.

Type a 1mm part number MB 176288
Type a 2mm part number MB 176289

Type b 1mm part number MB 132525
Type b 2mm part number MB 132526.


By the looks of it, just slacken the bolts and slip in the shim, retighten. don't seem to be rocket science to do.
Lez.

thanks Lez your a star.I will get onto Mitsi later in the week to order them up

How do i know how many shims i need? Is it just to try till its good?

Danne, I'll see if I can find a measurement and calc's for the shims............ no promises but I'll have a look mate.

I had to second guess mine. So if Lez comes up with a way of knowing then that will be great. Believe my drivers side needed 3mm and passenger side 1mm. Turned out near spot on at the alignment centre though
